[@luisvalenzuela3004]

Ask you questions. Why. Burn. Oil. Plan. On. Bmw X3

[@luisvalenzuela3004]

Asking. You questions. Why. Burn oil. Filter.

[@eaglefangsnakelegs2880]

On a side note, i wish all auto mechanics would have as much passion and enthusiasm as you. To be honest I wasn't really into cars or even try to diagnose and fix on my own, until my girlfriend showed me one of your videos and I've been hooked ever since. Keep sending those videos brother.

[@faithahora]

so you found the oil leak, it would have been really nice if you had shared with us exactly where that oil leak was and what you did to solve the problem!

[@Holypikemanz]

^ he was too busy being spastic about pressing the "like" button

[@kevintomb]

It was the Engine front Seal, behind the front passenger wheel. Where the belt(s) of the engine are. There is a bushing you need to replace about 2.5" in diameter behind the belts.

[@mimusic1853]

I believe it’s called the crank shaft seal

[@Quis85]

I'm crying because my h3 hummer is doing this and that's exactly what the issues is. Now i have to make a decision to either get it fixed or wait and fix it next pay period. But it's my only vehicle so I'm going to just fix it and figure out the rest. I hate being an adult sometimes.

[@Quis85]

I got it fixed Saturday. Now the oil dipstick leaking. 😭. I pressure washed and clean the whole undercarriage of my vehicle it's looks brand new again. Besides the new leak from dipstick at the bottom. Apparently it has a rubber seal at the end. But I'm confused as of how oil leaks from that spot. But the things we deal with with the vehicle we love. Just annoying at times.

[@daxd8358]

Time to pull out a sheet of paper and cost analysts pro vs con to fix and replace with older car to get out of the stuck zone . Most important is that you get the list then you are in control

[@ss27ish]

You have GREAT energy and preset helpful information really well. Thanks for your insights

[@pittsburghkid4127]

I liked the video just because of his energy

[@michellej7734]

[@ziaurrehman845]

I would loved to see if u would have put complete video with leak repairs/gasket replacement

[@marshacowan1252]

That was very good info and a very good explanation. I have an oil leak, too, so this has helped me to know how to look for the source. Thanks! I would love to see a video on how you fixed this if it is out there anywhere. Be safe. .

[@leviwathke867]

Love the energy keep it up

[@sundayadeboye3935]

Great information with great energy

[@luisaquize3694]

Thanks for the video I am really concerned about my car it is a 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan. I had to get the engine changed and after some days the splash engine shield fell off and realized there was an oil leak they told was fixed what could be the problem? Any idea much appreciated it. I took my car to the same shop three times already about this leak.

[@ermilacarlin6709]

Appreciate the video!Yes my 2002 Honda is splattering everywhere not just as a drip drip.. Do you recommend an oil change before the recommended sticker mileage or say 2000 miles prior since I have an older model?👍

[@bigwon4056]

Brilliant video 💯👍🏼

[@54mgtf22]

Love your work 👍

[@DUMMY2311]

Great job

[@MM-vu5xr]

Really like your video but I have a question I have a Honda Pilot 2003 and I have a leak but it’s not from a oil pan so where could it be leaking from ? thank you

[@bernadettekelly8386]

Very good tips thank you

[@elturokbigtt]

thank you for sharing sir

[@dustinfrank3475]

Seems pretty informative, I will update after I try. My 2011 VW Routan is leaking from the driver CV or at least it looks like it is. So I'm going to use this info and see where it takes me. Fingers crossed.....

[@stuarthill9629]

Thank you, helpful!!

[@Rokza72]

Thanks for sharing

[@Salah-ut7uc]

I’ve been trying to find a oil leak on my 07 Murano. Every once in a while the 3rd coil goes bad. But I’m not sure if the oil is reaching it. I checked most of the common things but no luck. Any advice

[@rodralph824]

I have a 2015 Camry 4 cyl I changed the oil and after I experienced a small leak. I check the oil pan drain plug and filter--all ok, but just above the oil pan there is what looks to be a black plastic housing and that had oil on it . Now when I check the oil level I can not determine if I over filled or not because the GD oil is so clear, but maybe I did add too much. any thoughts?

[@humbertosuako1368]

I like this guy!

[@user-dk3uh2nt2p]

Very helpful

[@theloyalproducerx2132]

Thank you for letting me see this video I have an oil leak on my 1995 Toyota Avalon and I did the gasket twice for the oil pan this might mean the right problem was in this video on that car I just have to take through a passenger wheel off to find out hopefully I don't snap another stud hahaha life is s***

[@BS7-rpt]

I have a 2019 Cadillac XT4 that had a Crankshaft Carrier replacement because of an oil leak before I got it. What sort of problem might this cause down the road for me?

[@VenessaDiaz-rf9de]

Great video. Current issue of mine is the dealership saying I need a new oil pan due to a leak that is not the drain plug, rather what the drain plug goes into because its stripped??? Bottom of oil pan ??

[@tonyhernandezful]

🚨 I have 1994 GMC Sierra 1500 with code 28 ( transmission range pressure switch ) can you guys make a video of where it’s located or how to fix it thanks. 🚨

[@exposingproxystalkingorgan4164]

Yes, oil leaks are very messy and annoying.

[@nomadyesmad4875]

Do you know the best way to clean the oil off the belt and pulleys?

[@WildBillVT74]

just subscribed dude, good video

[@1AAuto]

[@Dogru__Yol]

So fastttt thnxx

[@JayWalkerOnline]

I've got engine oil literally all over the bottom of the oil pan and a good majority of my engine for my 2005 Saturn Ion 1. I can't find an obvious leak of drops or anything, it's just seeping somewhere. What would be your recommendation?

[@marshallcabezudo9500]

Thank you for all the advice. I was replacing the passenger side cv axle and one of the lines came loose and was resting on the axle which created a hole. I think it’s an oil line but I’m not sure.

[@1AAuto]

+marshall cabezudo Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@frankmontez6853]

I’ve this rear main seal leak and mechanic said that it’s not leaking down because the connection between the engine and transmission is super tight. Oil is just staying there. But it ruined my starter. He said if he were me he’d drill a hole to let it drain and for sure this would save the newly installed one. What do you think ?

[@RamDaGreat]

I have oil splattering rn Thanks for the video

[@ritamitchell1060]

So how much is going to cost to fix that oil leak

[@lahawk3407]

My oil pressure gauge is laying down n I have an oil leak… Do you think the oil pressure sensor/sending unit could be my problem? 03 Yukon. Thanks

[@marilynholcombe7489]

My 2003 Ford taurus is smoking, like runnig hot. I just had a tuneup and put a thermostat and gasket on. So I do have a small transmission leak, and the smoke is coming from under the pulleys. Is that a exhaust problem? Because of the smoke is that a transmission leak?

[@okemejuru8819]

You are the best

[@michaelturner7641]

Another great video

[@EIREESPANA]

Thanks for video my Honda accord leaking fluid i assume it is oil Iv parked it on cardboard ovrnight to try and pinpoint problem

[@ahotdj07]

He loves to say "of course!"

[@Justhe333ofus]

1992 chevy camaro has two small leaks when parked. One around the steering wheel area othe passenger front. Any ideas

[@gannon3489]

Thank you

[@adfggffffffddffd]

I've learned that it's a million times easier to work on a vehicle when you have a lift and ample lighting. The shitty electricityless tiny garage I have at the apartment I'm living in is not fun to work on a vehicle in...

[@evelynmerrell344]

I liked the video

[@troyb6036]

You said crank shaft but at the end you never mention if it's the back or front seal . Also you said it was coming from this area ,many would ask what do you mean by this area .

[@hostilityy]

Obviously front main seal leak. rear main seal is by the transmission. Anyone under a car looking for leaks should already know what these are.

[@punda62]

How bad is the camtower leak on a tundra and does it mean that it will be back after being fixed

[@user-cu1wq9qo3z]

I have one that appears next to the air con pump very minor but is racking my brain on where without paying a big fee to get the air con out and regassed...where is your best guess this could be coming from, it is not visibly high up the same position as the air con pump?

[@andrewsheafor913]

I have an oil leak in our Kia Sorento. How much does it cost to get an oil leak fixed?

[@jaheimcharley7525]

okay i have an questions? if the oil is some how getting on your pulleys and getting on your the bottom of your air intake hose to hitting the top of the hood where do you think the oil is coming from??

[@mikep.473]

Power steering or some where near the belts

[@seangowan7441]

I habe an 04 tahoe 4wd. I have an oil leak from the rear. Some drips from the oil pan bolts, and the starter is a little dirty could it possibly be a rear main seal?

[@gardini100]

i got a Honda Civic 2013 sport with low millage but was lucky it was a hole in the oil filter and it did not dirty up the whole motor but it did leak like crazy

[@AgustinaQuinteroFelix]

Mine leaks when is not in use after i use it and park it inside the garage. Hopefully is the motor cap. Because before i had a leak from the antifreeze and mecanic charge me money and didn't find anything. So i went and buy a radiator cap and it stopped the leaking and it dosent overheat anymore.

[@sarahhelmer7902]

Is it normal for small leakage in your car?

[@hazepennington9303]

Very good video, what I can see is this person that owns this car is going to have a expensive repair Job, looks like a front crank seal leak

[@IvegotaroughideaDIYchannel]

If its leaking oil... It still has oil :)

[@1AAuto]

+I've got a rough idea - DIY channel Thanks for the feedback!

[@LuisGabriel1309]

I have a 2008 Audi A4 Quattro 2.0 and I notice when I put oil I notice coming right out from the bottom. What can it be? I hit a pothole and I notice right after that. When can it be?

[@AJGomez613]

Bro I was driving last night and suddenly I started to lose rpms, then a few meters later the car stop, I tried to turn it on it starts a bit but the goes full stop, there’s a engine check and oil check. What could that be? My first response was to check the engine dipstick and it was low thankfully I was close to a petrol station, I purchase a quarter oil to momentarily solve the issue, it started but then it stopped I checked underneath the car and It was a moderate oil lick. Any Ideas what could that be ? My grammar is terrible. My car is a Hyundai Tucson 2009 automatic 4x2

[@jpowe2822]

Was driving and my f150 4.2. engine oil pressure dropped dramatically. All the oil came out. Had to pull over immediately. Any suggestions 😂

[@carlosescasinas2628]

I have a lexus es 300 2002 which is leaking underneat i cant figure where is the leak came from

[@dariuslewis9320]

Dum question I have a crack oil cap would that cause a oil leak ?

[@escaladeandgmtrucks7577]

I need to talk about it to a psychologist about my oil leak problem cuz its making me crazy.

[@latoyajthemiraclebaby7564]

So if you have an oil leak and the oil dose not have be to changed until may and in April the maintenance sign came on can you Waite until may

[@jahsuajosephrodrigueznotmy5068]

And the radiator shot but what I understand is if the radiator shop was water going inside or coolant go inside combining with the oil

[@susanbrookins1879]

Part 2 please my leaks just like this

I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla that’s leaking oil I noticed a little leaking when car is parked the mechanic put in a new head gasket thinking it get fixed no it’s still leaking from the passenger side please help thanks

[@dirtyboy8336]

I wish I head help. My truck is leaking oil seems like it's coming off of the flywheel cover not even the oil pan I never seen anything like that before

[@alkalineph9446]

These videos help. Shops are becoming less and less encouraging to fix things all they want to do is swap parts. This makes it extremely frustrating for individuals who want to fix their issue.

facts and want us to pay more money 😂

[@R0ckstrmik3]

How much for this

[@hfmkgg4l212]

Hey my name is Keith & I have a 1999 dodge ram 3.9 so the truck links on oil it was doing fine yesterday but Kno wen I drive I don't see the oil only the smoke wen I stop at a light it's not a lot of smoke but now it's acting like it wants to cut off and now it won't go up hill what's could be the problem?

I need help my 2002 Ford E250 has milky oil

[@DjCBlaq]

My friend has a leak on his focus fx3 that is very similar. Oil just pouring out. I'm thinking this type of repair is going to be worth a rebuilt engine

[@BigDaddyTiberius]

If its just a leak a rebuild is overkill. The leak in this video will require a new seal. The difference is a few hours to replace a seal as opposed to a day taking apart the whole engine then putting it back together again.
